Some grievances are legitimate
Some grievances are manufactured out of nothing for the sake of winning sympathy, and a feeling of moral superiority.
Martin Luther King specialized in the former.
People at Ivy schools complaining about microaggressions specialize in the latter.

I'm all for celebrating your wins, but people who celebrate yesterday's win too long are toast.

People saying “I’ve been through hell.”
Cool. Did you bring back a map or just sit there jerking off to your own suffering?
Pain isn’t a personality.
It’s not deep. It’s not sexy.
It’s just lazy if you don’t crawl out and build something. Become something.
Being a victim feels good to many.
You’re not a warrior you’re just emotionally unemployed.

“Let it all fall where it may.
I’ve got better things to do than worry.”
“So let the plane leave. Let the girl leave. Let the storm come.
My job is the effort.”

“The next suitable person you’re in light conversation with, you stop suddenly in the middle of the conversation and look at the person closely and say, “What’s wrong?” You say it in a concerned way. He’ll say, “What do you mean?” You say, “Something’s wrong. I can tell. What is it?”
And he’ll look stunned and say, “How did you know?”
He doesn’t realize something’s always wrong, with everybody. Often more than one thing. He doesn’t know everybody’s always going around all the time with something wrong and believing they’re exerting great willpower and control to keep other people, for whom they think nothing’s ever wrong, from seeing it.”

A real friend is rarer than diamonds and far more useful. Because a real friend will call you out when your habits suck. He’ll challenge your worldview without being a hater. He’ll show up when you’re bleeding, not just when you’re posting wins. Most people are incapable of this. Most people are too self-interested. Too validation seeking. Too busy playing therapist to their own emotional loops to be worth anything to anyone else. But the real ones? When you find them you don’t just keep them. You build with them. You bleed with them. You create myth with them.
You are the average of your five closest teammates so choose carefully. That group chat of meme bros who don’t read and haven’t improved since 2019? It’s not just holding you back. It’s poisoning your momentum.

The most exquisite revenge is just the unbothered, cinematic unfolding of a life so beautiful it looks fictional. No reaction. No response. No dramatic exits or half drunk voicemails at 2am. Just steady elevation, silent evolution, and the soft, terrifying click of the door locking behind you forever.
They hurt you? Cool. Now you're stronger, sharper, richer, funnier, and your skin glows like you drink the blood of your old self. You walk through airports with linen on your shoulders and God in your chest, while they scroll past your success with a fake yawn and a clenched jaw, pretending not to care as their soul tries to climb out of their throat.
God takes care of it all. You care a lot less when you are winning.

Some people have to hate their current situation so much, that it forces them to make a change.
Don't be the person only pushed by misery.
Make the changes when you only hear the whispers.
Correct that course early and live a happier life.

Being "too hard" or "too easy" on yourself, gives equally bad results.
- Too easy leads to sloppiness & lack.
- Too hard stifles confidence & risk.
There has to be an focused internal, intense push - that is able to overlook trivial things, while holding very high standards.

You don’t need to “get it right” every time; a man who fears the fall will never climb the mountain. In fact, I would argue you need to get it completely wrong the first few times, or you’ll never learn. But most men don’t have the guts.

I remember when the nurses in our hospital department voted me as their favourite doctor despite the fact I’d always felt I was certainly less nice to them and more authoritative in telling them the treatment plan of our patients.
I asked why and if they were joking, because I’d had a number of confrontations with a select few of them.
The told me the other juniors are more friendly and nice, but they don’t have any confidence in their plans and are never decisive. They joke around with them, but they don’t trust them enough to put them at ease.
Put a lot of things into perspective for me.
Many relationships and marriages will share this dynamic.
Most men ruin their relationships by feeling the need to always joke around and feign being nice. Sometimes you just have to get shit done.
More often than you think.

How many times have you proclaimed your goals, but made no tangible steps towards them? — you can put it off in the back of your mind, but eventually it will become incompatible with a sound mental state.
At a certain point, you can’t just SAY what you’ll do. Time waits for nobody, and it is particularly unkind to those who slander it by the technique of their existence.
Half way through the year. Finish strong.
